Here come the Phillies

Objects in mirror may be closer than they appear.

In September, the Mets are 7-4. The Phillies are 8-5. Over their last ten games, the Mets have won six, while the Phillies have won seven.

One would think that the Mets have been staving off the Phillies, and maintaining their lead. Not so. In fact, the Mets have seen their lead shrink from as large at 3.5 games, down to one, where it sits right now.

The Mets have 14 games to play in 14 days. The Phillies play 12 games in that same time span.

I hate to say it, but here come the Phillies...again. You can't deny the similarities between this year and last. Sure, there are a few different variables, but it's playing out like a broken record.

Scary to think, and I obviously still have hope (they are in first place), but it's getting a little nerve wracking.

This is going to be a crazy two weeks. Every game is precious. They are all "must wins" from here on out.
